  • You are not dealing with a for-profit promoter or agency, you are dealing with fellow musicians who take no cut from the proceeds, and understand the requirements of a touring band
  • It's a small, very intimate venue that enables (and actually requires) you to be working up close and personal with your audience
  • You get the entire proceeds from the door (entrance fee to be negotiated - ballpark figures are: 13€ for a solo act up to 20€ for a full band), max. 36 seats
  • An acoustic upright bass (3/4) size is available. Please note that because Birgit is a master ceramist she gets her hands wet for longer periods of time and therefore doesn't have a chance to grow calluses on her left hand fingertips. Therefore, her bass is equipped with Presto Jazzicato strings. These are steel core, nylon wound strings (black), and they are difficult (though not impossible) to bow. Fine for pizzicato.
  • A Phil Jones Briefcase Bass Combo (http://philjonesbass.com/store/bass/pjps-briefcase-bass-combo/) is also available; alternatively, a DI box can be used for the bass.
  • We usually put two Ear Trumpet Labs microphones (Louise and Myrtle) up. This is plenty enough for the small room. Guitars are usually not plugged in. A few acts have even chosen to play without any sound reinforcement at all. As soon as a banjo is involved, I wouldn't recommend it though :-) Voices tend to get drowned out....
  • Lots of other gear, too - when in doubt, just ask

This site is operated by Acoustic Country Music duo »Horse Mountain« (Birgit and Dieter, who happens to also be the president of the Filmfreunde Kusterdingen club who in turn operates the METROPOL cinema).

We organize the »Bluegrass im Klosterhof« festival, taking place on the second Saturday in January every year. Since this festival has had the house packed and sold out from its first incarnation (and dozens of would-be audience members were left disappointed because tickets were sold out in a matter of days) we would like to use this special venue to offer high-quality acoustic music events in an intimate, up close and personal setting during the 364 off-festival days of the year.
